-(Natural News) A “eureka moment” is perhaps the best way to describe what a team of physicists from Stanford University went through after they discovered a property that, at first, only existed as a theory: orbital ferromagnetism. Orbital ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism caused by the lining up of the electrons’ orbital motions. According to […]

-(Natural News) Computer scientist Subhash Kak of Oklahoma State University has suggested that computers can never become truly conscious. In an article published in The Conversation, Kak wrote that the brain operates in an entirely different way and is structurally distinct to computers. The brain doesn’t work the same way as computers The brain handles information differently than computers. Living […]

-(Natural News) In case we needed another reminder of how terribly things can go wrong when we place too much trust in technology, an attack on the computers of a healthcare system in Wyoming forced a hospital to transfer patients and cancel surgeries. The problem was caused by a ransomware attack that took control of […]

-(Natural News) Over the last 24 hours, Natural News and NewsWars have spearheaded the reporting on the implications of Google’s “quantum supremacy” announcement from Friday. What’s astonishing is how few independent media publishers and mainstream media outlets are covering this story, considering it’s the biggest computing milestone in the history of humanity, with game-changing implications […]

-(Natural News) There are rocky exoplanets around the size of Earth that lie within a few light-years of the solar system. While these relatively nearby worlds receive intense radiation from their active stars, they might eventually bear alien life – if they haven’t already done so. These planets lie well within the habitable zone of […]
